Carbonite guns, also known as carbonite rifles, were weapons that fired a short stream of liquid carbonite that solidified on contact with a target. It was a very formidable weapon capable of immobilizing everything from small infantry such as a stormtrooper to extremely large opponents such as a rancor. They could also be used to disable mechanical devices such as tanks.
